“I wreck a lot of cymbals: but we’re playing rock here, you know? There’s a stigma about being a girl in a rock band, as well as being a female and a drummer. I started out hitting hard.”"I always had to fight my way to get the good parts in high school band. They always wanted to stick the girls on the bells. Playing in a heavy band like Skillet is cool; I guess people dig seeing chick rockers.”

I am gonna rock your face off - everytime!”

Who didn’t love Peppermint Patty with her care-free attitude and spunky comebacks? Making her comic strip debut in 1966, she quickly won the hearts of many and a recurring role in the famed Peanuts comic. Notorious for calling Charlie Brown “Chuck,” her character was unique and she was never afraid to let her true self shine through. Peppermint Patty had a style all her own - right down to her favorite brown sandals - and she never doubted herself when her choices were questioned. She loved sports and was always involved in the local baseball game and any other activity the Peanuts Gang was involved in.
